Yanova, Sultan IV. Mehmet Câmii

After the second conquest of the Ineu Castle, Sultan IV. Mehmet Mosque was built in the name of Sultan Mehmet IV. Evliya Çelebi, who personally participated in the Varat Siege in 1660 in the entourage of Köse Ali Pasha, describes this place as a castle and city with 800 houses and 200 shops while passing through Ineu. He reports the IV. Mehmet Mosque is on the inside of the castle gate, next to the clock tower. The Sultan Mehmet Mosque is a rectangular building with a hipped roof measuring 10x16 m. There was a stone minaret on the western façade. The body walls of the mosque were built of bricks. It is seen that there is an open narthex with a wooden ceiling in the north of the mosque, and later this section was partially closed. Sultan Mehmet Mosque was converted into a Catholic church by the Austrians in 1693 after the Ottomans withdrew from the castle. The mosque, which was used until a new church was built in the city in 1858, was abandoned after this date and was completely demolished at the end of the World War II.
